Leave it my foot...many addicted souls say that in denial. The fact is that most people need pot or some other drug to escape the real pain of a mislived life or cowardess in their lives. Real noble and happy people need no drugs at all because they have God’s joy inside them.
copingstrategiescd.org has that path....which also has led to a spiritual cure of cancer for many people.
Scale of feesFDA calculates the fees for the following year based on the expected work (applications etc.) and the amount it wants to raise from the fees. For 2008 the application fees are :
$1,178,000 per full application requiring clinical data,
$589,000 per application not requiring clinical data or per supplement requiring clinical data.There are also establishment fees and product fees.[21]
There are loads of other plant medicines that work best in whole form that are also left out in this limbo because they can't be patented.
No denial. I have gone without for months and years at a time and suffer nothing for it.
The government has NO DAMN BUSINESS telling us what we may or may not ingest, smoke, inject, etc.
Our ancestors knew the Constitution wouldn’t allow Prohibition, so they passed an Amendment. (Then discovered that the PEOPLE wouldn’t allow it, either.)
So why is it any different with marijuana, cocaine, heroin, or any other substance you care to mention?
Whether YOU oppose something or not is inconsequential. The Constitution does not empower the government to ban anything, SO LEAVE IT ALONE AND LET US DECIDE FOR OURSELVES!!
What a childish non-answer.
Over 45 years you don’t think that you have unknowingly been in a vehicle with a friend that was holding?
Actually if you read my post you would see that I was comparing smoking drugs to licking frogs, not to a glass of wine with dinner.
And I wasn't answering a question.
Your posts seem to be getting confused. What's goin' on there?
I know two people who initially raved about their running programs and ended up quitting because it was destroying their knees and hips. Their problem: they thought they could run on hard surfaces and have no problems. Humans are meant to run on soft surfaces and not concrete or asphalt.
Please don’t turn this into one of those stoner things where every thing has to be parsed and picked at endlessly.
Over 45 years I have been surprised many times to find that a friend has been carrying, or came for an extended visit from out of town with me while holding, or showed up at one of my parties with pot and him pulling it out at some point, or me discovering them using it.
In your lifelong use of the drug, you have never been places, or participating in things or events, or in someone’s automobile without announcing to everyone that you were in possession, ever?
Why can’t we just grow it and smoke it?
LOLOL
Those headless bodies and boobytrapped parks are our reality only because of the prohibition policies you support.
Legalizing the use of marijuana and allowing people to grow for their own use would put an end to those horrors you bring up.
Marijuana can not mend smashed knees.
Nevertheless, it ought to be beneath the dignity of the State to regulate common weeds, except where they are an agricultural nuisance, like Russian thistle or knapweed.
Cannabis is not such a weed, and if it was, there are already such laws protecting farming and the environment.
The War on Pot makes the government look absurd - perhaps that’s a good thing!
IOWs your comments are above being responded to.
To hear you tell things you know more "stoners" than I (or any other FR pot user) does. You must because in 45 years I've never seen the behavior you constantly claim you've seen.
“... close relatives/friends who did of and survived cancer, I can say the effects are positive”.
When my Mom had pancreatic cancer (that she did die from), if I had known how to get marijuana for her.. I would have. Her doctors gave her plenty of pain medicine but the chemo made her so sick. She literally had three saltines a day or two gingersnap cookies. If pot could have reduced her vomiting and increased her appetite then it would have helped her. I could literally see her wasting away. I would check on her in the morning and swear she was thinner by the same evening. No prescription drugs would help.
LOL, typical addict language, we behead people and booby trap your forests, because you straights and your laws, force us to.
If it weren't legit, then why has the federal government held a patent on it since 2003? (US Patent 6630507 titled “Cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants”)
Not with anyone who would have a problem with that. I don't impose that way on people. For the most part I never carry it at all once I get it home. Which has been extremely seldom to begin with. When I acquire it it is usually brought to me.
Cannabis is actually very good for agricultural land. Its roots go deep and break up hard compacted clays, introduce organic matter a couple of feet below the surface and hold soil that is prone to erosion very tightly. When plowed under it introduces almost as much nutrients as stinging nettles so it’s a good cover crop too.
